This video demonstrates how the FAO's Port State Measures Agreement and tools like the Global Information Exchange System and the FAO Global Record combat IUU fishing.

This video shows the role of FAO’s Agreement on Port State Measures in laying down minimum standards for countries to control entry into their ports, allowing only fishers who follow the rules to use them and FAO tools, such as the Global Information Exchange System and the FAO Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels that enable national authorities to share information which is critical to combat IUU fishing.
